I live in the People's Republic of Konnecticut. We went even further left on Tuesday.

The Hartford Courant has recently reported that CT has the 5th highest taxes in the nation, yet we have the worst deficit in the nation (measured as dollars per citizen). And the deficit does NOT include our unfunded liabilities for healthcare and retirement benefits for municipal unions, for which CT has the 5th highest debt in the nation (measured again as dollars per citizen). And the Dems have been in charge forever.

SO the Dems have taxed us to death, yet managed to spend much more. They're like an NBA superstar who makes $15 mill a year, yet goes bankrupt...that's how fiscally irresponsible the Dems have been.

And on Tuesday, we elected even more of them.

WHY? How can any sane person conculde that raising taxes and spending more, is the way to correct this? What evidence exists to suggest that crazy spending is the way to get out of debt? Please share with me...
